Dear Fairfield Heights Public School Year 5 Students,

Welcome to your pathfinder on the HSIE topic 'GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTS: RAINFORESTS.'

A pathfinder is designed to help you 'find' your way to useful information along an easy 'path' of listed resources.

It will save you time, energy and a lot of frustration in helping you find information that you can understand and use!

This pathfinder will help you learn a lot about rainforest types, ecosystems, locations, people, animals, plants, uses, threats and conservation.

In this pathfinder you will find:

• some information literacy tips on how to successfully use and think about the information that you will find.

• a list of key terms and meanings.

• a list of library reference sources that will help you in your information seeking.

• a summary of four book resources you can use from our library.

• eight excellent online resources to use.

Enjoy exploring everyone!

Regards,

Mrs Ryan
